Les Kiss, Wallabies coach, faces his most formidable challenge yet as his team prepares to take on the world champion Springboks in a high-stakes Test match in Perth. The Wallabies have made a late squad change due to lock Josh Canham's hamstring injury; Reds teammate Lukhan Salakaia-Loto replaces him in the starting lineup, while Lachlan Shaw joins the bench.
A notable change is the selection of Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii at wing, pushing Len Ikitau to outside centre and Hunter Paisami taking his place at No. 12. Les Kiss, undefeated since his appointment, boasts a three-win and a draw record. Despite his success, he anticipates a tough battle against the Springboks, who aim to secure a victory during their Australian tour. Stay tuned for live coverage of this eagerly awaited clash!
